DC air heater unit ME605

direct currentfloor-standingcustom-made

Overview
Freestanding ME605 series engineer's/cab heaters designed for locomotive cabins. Available in a range of wattage outputs, the ME605 focuses on low surface temperatures and long service life for demanding rail applications.

Product summary
Freestanding cab heaters engineered for reliable, long-life operation. The design reduces element watt density through a double hairpin element and uses rugged components suitable for locomotive electrical environments.

Features

• Exclusive double hairpin heater element with approximately 33% more surface area for lower watt densities and reduced surface temperatures
• Heavy-duty DC-rated electroswitches compatible with locomotive power systems
• No voltage-dropping resistors to simplify electrical integration
• "Low-Heat" setting to extend element life and reduce power draw
• Over-temperature switches for thermal protection
• Field-proven blower and motor for extended, trouble-free operation

Variants

• Custom-designed units and brushless-motor versions available to meet specific locomotive requirements
